How long has this site been down?
These EAMs are easily and publicly heard over any HAM radio. Now it looks like the feds object to the content of the messages being published in one convenient place.
It seems to me that trying to crack the codes would be futile as they are based on one-time pads handed out to the pilots before take-off.
However maybe they feel there is some useful intelligence in simply knowing the number and frequency of the EAMs.
The Dutch online HAM site is still up so people can listen live even if they don't own a radio.
I hope the site owners are not going to be put through too much grief. I'm sure they didn't think they were breaking the law or assisting enemy forces. God knows, the enemy forces that mean anything already track the EAMs in real time anyway.
What they do is give their first-born child to another family to abuse and, often in due time, the child is ritually sacrificed.
I know it's hard to imagine for us normal folks, but these aren't normal folks. They are only human in a kind of limited sense.
Guys over at Defcon Warning System and half-chan are perplexed too about the shutdown of the eam.watch site. Half-chan anon was trying to get in touch with the site owner and can't.
It was the first time I'd heard of Tony Podesta's plane being intercepted on the way to Pakistan.
If Tony's been in Gitmo since November, he's had an awful long time to spill the beans on many of the people in the Podesta Wikileaks mails.
It's a point well-taken, Anon. We have to keep in mind that Soros has bought the media in most of the world, not only the USA.
Through that system, he keeps the global public thinking Obama is a swell guy. Even though we know he's not, if he were to be arrested immediately the global public would misunderstand the situation. So we have to prepare the ground in advance of BHO's arrest and trial.
These guys really didn't look like they were up to anything nefarious - more a bunch of curious HAM radio geeks who enjoyed the intrigue of listening to MIL comms.
For many years, forums like defconwarningsystem, glp, and ats have posted the occasional text of an EAM or Skyking. What seems to have gotten these guys in trouble today was that they were making a systematic and thorough effort to log each and every EAM/Skyking.
America's enemies have been doing this internally for decades; I'm quite sure they did not rely on the eam.watch website. However it's possible DHS didn't want the interwebz community paying too much attention to these broadcasts even though they are there for anyone to hear.
One thing Skyking listeners have noticed over the years is that when there is a real military situation ongoing, the tone of voice of the speakers gets tense, sometimes even fearful.
If the US MIL is planning to launch air strikes soon, they might not want to have too many people listening in, regardless of the fact that the content of the messages is not decipherable outside of the military.
